Elijah, holding Hope and Mercy in his arms, is desperately making his way through the Bayou in search of Hayley

[frantically] HAYLEY! HAYLEY!

Elijah, looking concerned, continues walking through the woods, stopping when he comes upon one of the steel-jawed animal traps, which is both covered in and surrounded by a huge puddle of blood. Elijah gulps nervously and considers this for a moment before a familiar voice calls out from behind him. It's Jackson

[angrily] Where is she?

Elijah spins on his heel and looks at Jackson with surprise. Jackson is naked, covered in blood and hiding behind a tree, both to help support himself and to give him some modesty in front of Elijah and the twins

Where the hell is Hayley?

Elijah realizes that Jackson is panting heavily and looks down to find that Jackson's leg is seriously wounded from being caught in the trap and is bleeding severely

Hayley, still trapped in Davina's magic circle in one of the tombs, has wrapped a blanket around herself and is holding it up with one hand while she furiously beats against the magical boundary with the other and growls angrily

[screams] AGHHHH! AGHHHHHHHH!

Finally, Davina comes back into the room with her arms full of supplies, looking calmly at Hayley, who is glaring furiously at her

[enraged] Davina, let me out of here right now, or I swear I will kill you.

Davina rolls her eyes and tosses a shirt and jeans at her before holding up a blood bag

You can try. Or, we can have a polite conversation.

[angrily] You magically kidnapped me on the one night that I can see my daughters. Do not talk to me about "polite!"

I drew you here to help you!

Elijah asked you months ago to break the curse, and you said no.

The Regent of witches can't be seen doing favors for the Mikaelsons.

She pauses before tossing the blood bag onto the floor of the circle

...But, maybe we can help each other.

Hayley, too hungry to argue any farther, kneels down and starts chugging the blood from the bag as quickly as she can, squeezing it so hard that it gets all over her hands

Look, I have access to the witch ancestors. I can channel the power of the one who created the spell that cursed you. You can be free, Hayley.

Hayley stands to her feet and licks the blood from her fingers, clearly interested in what Davina is proposing but still angry at the circumstances that led them here

Under your terms, I'm guessing.

She pauses, and Davina sighs

Spill.

[hesitates] There's a witch in the 9th Ward who hates that I'm Regent. She tried to kill me. If I retaliate, I'm starting a civil war, and I don't want to do that.

Hayley, realizing where she's going with this, stares at her

Fine. Just tell me who you want dead.
